Block Firewall Rule matched but still able to access page ?

Hi Guys.

I have a strange issue... 

I am blocking Social network sites on the firewall and only a few selected people have access to it.
When the BLOCK rule is matched , the people are redirected to a "Blocked" page.

In the APP section I have a rule number 22 (as example) that allows Facebook for specific AccessRole.
Then lower down I have Rule 134 That blocks Facebook and Adult content sites and Redirects to Blocked Page.

Rule 136 Is the Allow rule for Internet Access 

Now , when I try to access Facebook , I can see in the log files match on Rule 134 , the REDIRECT to block page action but the user is still able to surf on Facebook ??
If I am trying an adult site , I see same rule match in logs but I am not able to surf to the adult website.

Why ? I am totally confused.

So , Facebook and Adult content are Blocked by the same rule. 134 !
Traffic to both Facebook and Adult site HIT the same Rule 134 ! 

If I visit Facebook I just get an Action REDIRECT and in session : https Traffic Redirected from George (xxx) - (10.131.90.60) to Facebook - (157.240.200.3)
... and I can continue surfing on Facebook . So traffic is REDIRECTED to Facebook but NOT Blocked ..

If I try an adult page I get Action Block and I get the IT blocked page...

Same blocking rule contains "Pornography" and "Social Networking". Rule is matched on both cases but Facebook is allowed and Pornography blocked.

Please share some additional information to assist i.e.

* Major Version

* Jumbo Take

* HTTPS inspection

* Updated Trusted CA

Anecdotally I've observed better consistency with categorisation in R82+ but might need a TAC case to understand your issue further.

Cluster runs R81.20 Jumbo Hotfix 127.
As you see , HTTPS is enabled and the Trusted CA are up to date , just checked yesterday.
But this should not be about HTTPS inspection ,it's an application rule... maybe I am wrong.

Mind sharing your https inspection policy? Im wondering if there is specific rule there causing this. Keep in mind, that policy would always take precedence first.

I have a bunch of Bypass (but I can see the Facebook is inspected) policies and last in row the HTTPS Inspect.
